Left wall I've my office, now filled with shoebox-sized bins.
I've gone all in on clear shoebox + masking tape storage. Great for locating cords and small electronics so far. Still more to be figured out in terms of overall sorting (I'm hoping a natural cache will emerge?).
Garden posting interface
New posting interface up for this site (garden.grantcuster.com). Complete with media (S3) upload, markdown preview and posting to Bluesky.
Hand range test
Experimenting with mediapipe hand-tracking for value adjustments.
New desk experiments - stashing a beheaded desktop below the desk with string loops.
Bottom view - laptop body tied to the underside of the desk
Top view - strings coming out of drilled holes
New desk setup as of this weekend
Materials, with extra for later
I'm doing some more experimentation with raspberry pi's around the house. Working on a base ubuntu setup, that is pretty close to what I would do with ubuntu on any other computer.
Install ubuntu-server through rpi-imager. Annoying rpi-imager doesn't work with sway, something about QT apps and security. I've been flashing from my work macbook so far. I'd like to get a better setup. I could do it from the command line with dd but I'm not sure how to replicate the settings presets that the imager has, which is especially nice for automatically connecting to wifi. Still, I should dig in and get this figured out.

Inspired by dynamicland to try some real world manipulation linked to digital objects. I'd guessed coarse color matching would be enough here - it may not be.

The elements: mini PC, AR glasses, portable battery, bluetooth keyboard
Simulation of POV from the porch. A floating window over the world.
After trying out a DIY deck version, I've redone my cyberdeck experiment using AR glasses. It's not perfect but I've been using it pretty consistently on subway commutes and porch nights.
Redid CSS zoom method again. Hopefully a base to build on for future projects at https://github.com/GrantCuster/zoom

I think this is actually the 'right' progressive pixelation. Had to step away for a while and come back.

Ambient TV is on the wall now.
Flipping through channels on the ambient TV setup
First ambient TV prototype is put together. Laptop strapped to a monitor with a macropad control. One button for random shuffle. Currently featuring Terry B bike riding, Primitive Technology and Rambalac. More iterations to come.
